Reflection: ASH WEDNESDAY
Litany of Dust
For those who have betrayed us…God, forgive them.
For those who have let us down…God, forgive them.
For those who have been indifferent to us…God, forgive them.
For those who have crippled our lives …God, forgive them.
For those who have doubted us…God, forgive them
For those who have accused us… God, forgive them
For those who have preferred others to us… God, forgive them
For family members who have hurt us… God, forgive them
For friends who have denied us… God, forgive them
For those who have walked away from us… God, forgive them
For my own self-pity…God, forgive me.
For my lukewarmness…God, forgive me.
For my times of despair and distrust… God, forgive me.
For my refusals to be hugged… God, forgive me.
For my disbelief in your love… God, forgive me.
For my searchings everywhere but in your heart… God, forgive me.
For apologies frozen on my lips… God, forgive me.
For my words of love unspoken… God, forgive me.
For my kisses and embraces ungiven… God, forgive me.
For compliments never offered…. God, forgive me.
For a heart closed in self-centeredness… God, forgive me.
For my own unforgiving postures… God, forgive me.
For not believing in your forgiveness… God, forgive me.
O Jesus, you who offered forgiveness to so many-to Mary, the Crippled Man, the Good Thief-who said that you came to give life and shed your blood ”for the forgiveness of sins,” forgive us our sins. Not only the obvious ones, but especially the unnoticed ones of pride, righteousness, self-hate and refusal to be loved.
Take our very selves and wash them in that unconditional love of yours, for you are a God of mercy and compassion, you who live and love forever and ever. Amen
